A 4-year-old boy who was treated at the Santa Clara Health Center in Koulikoro by the medical team of the European Union Training Mission Mali XIX for a facial tumor that developed left ocular proptosis, causing a significant facial asymmetry at the level of the left eye. Medical examination revealed light brown stains, axillary ephelid and Lisch nodules in both eyes.
